World Cup: 13 of the Hottest Handshakes on the Field (Photos)

Win or lose, let's shake on it.

In honor of the sexiness that is the World Cup, we asked Sarah Gidick, founder of the popular blog and Instagram feed The Porn for Women, to be our official "World Cup Hot Guy" correspondent. This is her first piece in a series of stories about why we should really be watching the festivities.

There's something so gentlemanly about a handshake. And by the looks of things, secret handshakes are running rampant on the field at the World cup (perhaps they're not secret per say, we just don’t know why some players seem to favor it more than others). But no matter. Win or lose, there are handful of players who love to add their own spin to a traditional handshake. Handsome men being gentlemen with a modern twist? We support this.
